Why I Love My Husband

Every day I am thankful that God blessed me with such a wonderful husband. Yes we argue, yes we disagree and yes we love. We do all of these and much more with enough passion for a lifetime. I pray that I get to spend a lifetime with him.

that he was my friend first.

There are so many reasons I love him and I could list hundreds of things more, but I won’t. He’s my friend, my lover, my children’s father and step-father. He is someone I appreciate and he’s my husband. What more could I possibly ask for? It’s a wonderful life
